Technicians will be visiting the neighborhoods of the executives from the company that are keeping us out of work. We want to show our presence so they don’t forget the faces of the people they are making suffer.

Tommorrow Tuesday July 18 Spectrum Cable will be co-chair panel at an event with the National Action Network in an attempt to highlight their help to the community. We want to have a strong presence there to make sure the people they are trying to impress understand what they are doing to all the people they decided to hurt and put out of work. We need to be all out for this event.

NYC has hundreds of thousands of unionized workers. With an ongoing attack on the work force by corporate America all employees union and non union alike are at risk. We are sending a message to the central labor council to alert all unions of the attack we are facing from this company. If they succeed who will be next? To go along with that notification we are looking for volunteers to visit the work sites of the other unions of NYC. We will be looking for petition signatures from them to send to elected officials to gather more support for our movement. The attack on our union affects all unions. Spectrum Cable’s disrespect for NYC will not go unnoticed and we will look for support from all union and non union workers in our movement to pull Spectrum Cable’s franchise. If they can’t respect our city lets kick them out.

These initiatives coinside with the constant tasks we are looking for every member to do from home or their phone to help get us back to work on our feet, not on our knees like they want. We will walk back in with the respect and dignity we deserve.

See your Steward or Picket Captain for more information. Do what you can to help.
